Healthbrush™ Wet Brushing Key Benefits

Encouraged by daily Shower or bath routine

We pay so much attention to our face, regularly exfoliating, cleansing, and moisturizing. But when's the last time you tended to the skin on the rest of your body?The skin is the largest organ of the body and the only organ other than the liver that can regenerate itself. A major pathway for toxins and contaminates, skin, barely second to the digestive system when it comes to absorption, and in fact, absorbs 60% of topical substances into the bloodstream. Proof of skin as an "ingestive organ" are the many trans-dermal drug delivery systems available today. Trans-dermal patches, used to treat tobacco addiction, obesity, hormone imbalance, travel sickness and birth control show how readily skin can absorb substances, whether good or harmful to the body. There is one simple step you can add to your morning routine that can greatly improve your skins health – brushing while showering or bathing with the Healthbrush™ I'm not only referring to your skin's aesthetic appearance, either (although many would agree this is important to). The benefits of skin brushing go beyond skin deep, offering whole-body benefits to your health. Your skin is a complex system made up of nerves, glands, and cell layers that, when healthy, serves as a buffer that helps protect your body from extreme temperatures and chemicals.It also produces antibacterial substances to protect you from infection and enables your body to produce vitamin D when exposed to the sun. Your skin even contains densely packed nerve cells that act as messengers to your brain, making your skin a crucial part of your interactions with the world around you.Another crucial role your skin plays is supporting optimal detoxification. But if your skin is overrun with toxins or dead skin cells, it will not be able to eliminate wastes from your body efficiently.This is where skin brushing can be invaluable, not only in brushing off dead skin cells but also in activating waste removal via your lymph nodes.Beyond this, skin brushing offers multiple benefits including:Stimulating your Lymphatic SystemIn your body, your lymphatic system is the system responsible for eliminating cellular waste products. Hundreds of miles of lymphatic tubules allow waste to be collected from your tissues and transported to your blood for elimination, a process referred to as lymphatic drainage.When your lymphatic system is not working properly, waste and toxins can build up and make you sick. Lymphatic congestion is a major factor leading to inflammation and disease. By stimulating your lymphatic system and helping it release toxins, dry skin brushing is a powerful detoxification aid.ExfoliationBrushing while cleansing your body also removes dead dry skin, improving appearance, clearing your clogged pores, and allowing your skin to "breathe."Increase CirculationWhen you brush your skin, it increases circulation to your skin, which encourages the elimination of metabolic waste.but to be beneficial this has to be incorporated into your daily hygiene routine, this is the philosopy of the Healthbrush achieving healthy and benificial results while you're cleansing your body. Reduce CelluliteBrushing may help to soften hard fat deposits below the skin while distributing fat deposits more evenly. This may help to diminish the appearance of cellulite.1The Huffington Post reported:2"When we'd heard dry skin brushing was an effective method for reducing cellulite, we knew we had to include it in our anti-cellulite road test. Sure enough, it was indeed one of the more successful ways to smooth away less-than-perfect spots on your legs."Stress ReliefThe act of brushing has been described as meditative and may reduce muscle tension, calm your mind, and relieve stress. Many compare it to a light whole-body massage daily. Not monthy! or 3/4 times a year! Imagine if you cleansed yourself monthy!Improve Digestion and Kidney FunctionBrushing may go even deeper, helping to support your digestion and organ function. According to one skin care and spa expert:3"…many naturopathic doctors use brushing to help with bloating because massaging the lymph nodes helps the body shed excess water and toxins. One of the immediate effects of brushing is smoother skin, but it can also help improve digestion, kidney function, and more."It's InvigoratingMany people become "addicted" to brushing (in a good way) because it simply feels so good. Along with glowing and tighter skin, regular dry skin brushers report feeling invigorated after a quick session in their shower routine.
